    yes as long as you can manage them better than the alternative of surgery ive been told it depends on your quality of life until it is completely affecting your daily activities until you must try surgery but, everyones tolerance and situation is different they say you may have just found out your diagnosis but its been there for years so it isnt something that probably just happened to you, although I UNDERSTAND IT CAN progress no one can tell you how or why that would happen
